Disney released the trailer for the new live-action The Jungle Book reboot today. It’s the Rudyard Kipling tale we all know and love, but this trailer makes it look 100 times cooler than most people probably dreamed of. It’s directed by Jon Favreau ( Ironman, Elf), therefore destined to be intentionally over-the-top and action-packed.
The reboot features some pretty big names including Bill Murray, Scarlett Johansson, Idris Elba and more. The trailer shows the little boy, Mowgli, in dastardly situations such as being stuck in a stampede (á la Simba—we still miss you Mufasa!), having to swing over fire and almost getting taken out by a giant tiger, presumably Shere Khan. Why the orangutan is the size of a building, we’re not entirely sure.
